At WindReach Recreational Village on Saturday, May 21 24 riders took part in nine events at the end of year horse show. The events ranged from games of skill which involved steering and picking up rings and dropping them in buckets to riders showcasing their trotting skills.All the events show how the WindReach riders have learnt to instruct their ponies, depending on their abilities.Some riders use their voice, others use their legs and hands, whilst a few sign their instructions to their sidewalkers.“The aim of the show is for all our riders to have fun,” noted Kate Terceira, Manager of the WindReach Therapeutic Riding programme.Nineteen-year-old Ashley Brady Kelly shares her reflections of the day:WindReach’s end of year show went really well, and I am glad to have participated in it.Not only were we as riders able to showcase our talents but also allow the community an opportunity to see what the entire facility is all about; I hope that by doing this show more people will come out and support WindReach in any way that they can.Aside from competing myself, my most favourite part of that show was being able to watch not only my teammate but all of the other riders, as that is not a chance that I get very often.It was amazing to see that even though each of the riders has their own set of challenges, everyone is still able do something that they love and that brings them happiness.Everyone there was very supportive of the riders, which is something WindReach has gone above and beyond to do and that only helped to make the day so much better.Thank you to everyone who came out and supported, and a big thank you to all of the coaches and volunteers that made that day possible, it was a great experience, not one that I will soon forgetEighteen-year-old Kelsie Simas shares her thoughts.I was born with Spina Bifida and Hydrocephalus and I have been riding at WindReach since I was four years old.In the last couple of years I have been riding competitively and preparing for Dressage competition.I and many other participants took part in the horse show at WindReach which was held on Saturday, May 21st, 2011.This was the first show that has taken place in a few years, and also my first show since being back on the saddle after an injury caused me to take a break from riding for six months.Despite the drizzly start to the day, the sun appeared to shine on our show.Watching the other riders brought back fun memories of when I first started riding. All of the younger riders looked like they were having fun riding through the cones and collecting rings to drop in the bucket.Those were the things I used to do. I have come a long way since then.There was a great turn out with family and friends coming to support the riders.We even had a few dignitaries come out to support the equestrians including Governor Sir Richard Gozney who presented each rider, including myself, with an award after each event.I was the second last rider of the day and I rode through a dressage test. I felt very confident and ready to ride as I rode into the arena.Even though there were a few glitches during my performance, Dusty, the horse I ride, and I continued on and completed the test to a loud round of applause.When I was finished riding, the Governor presented me with a medal. I was quite proud of our performance.The show could not have taken place without the hard work and dedication of Kate Terceira, who manages the Therapeutic Riding Programme, her assistant Stephanie Terceira and all of the dedicated volunteers who give of their time to ensure the success of the programme.They are a very loving and caring group of people and with their help the day was a huge success.
